Upset in North of Ireland Open

Ciara took the first set 6-2 and claimed the match with a 6-3 score in the second set at the Hillsborough tournament.

Meanwhile one of Ulster’s rising stars, Peter Corrie of Hilden TC, easily beat off the challenge from John Neill with a 6-0 score in the first set and a 6-1 score in the second set.

Unseeded player Corrie is tipped as one to watch as number 1 in the Ulster Under 18s. The left handed player is known for his big serve and strong forehand, which were all in evidence last night as he easily overpowered Neill.
